The act of giving is divine. Yet, in a world where many try to prevent us from sharing with others, the true essence of generosity remains a challenge. The ongoing psychological conflicts, akin to a third world war, play with our minds, further complicating our intentions to give selflessly.
The Influence of Technology
Our smartphones, constant companions in our daily lives, often record our actions and manipulate our thoughts. This technological manipulation adds another layer of complexity to our ability to remain calm and focused.
Embracing Calmness and Wisdom
When faced with problems, understanding that the impact could be less severe and maintaining calmness is a sign of wisdom. A wise person sees and thinks positively, even in adversity. The solutions to our problems lie within us, accessible when our minds are calm.
The True Nature of Problems
Running constantly from one problem to another is the real issue. Stability in the face of problems is the mark of a truly wise individual. Practicing this stability is essential for personal growth and wisdom.
Divine Preparation and Life’s Mission
God gives us problems to prepare us. Our past lives were filled with similar challenges, and in this life, we must complete our mission. Living with compassion (jeevakarunyaolukkam) and empathy towards all beings, while staying physically active, forms the foundation of a wise life.
Attaining Wisdom and Selflessness
Wisdom is understanding and living a happy life. Once wisdom is attained, one can give to others selflessly. In this state, respect and appreciation naturally follow. However, human nature often leans towards selfishness, preventing us from reaching this ideal state.
The Path to Mukti
Helping others selflessly, without any personal gain, leads to mukthi (liberation). This selfless giving and compassion towards all beings is the ultimate goal, guiding us toward a higher state of existence and inner peace.
